In that instance, please use technology other than LN :-)

There's a big difference between a Preferred installer and a Certified installer; neither should even consider retrofitting an engine with ANY debris in the oil.

Once debris is suspended in the oil, a preventive retrofit is not possible and a reactive retrofit requires special attention that few understand.
